Neal Bortz' last show today...

[mocgator]

A wonderful insensitive conservative mind. The leader of the Church of the Painful Truth. His last show is today then Herman Cain will be doing the show. Neal will be missed.

To be honest .. the final retirement decision wasn’t made until last November 7th. When I saw that the voters in this country had reelected this unqualified disaster to rule (his words) over our Republic for four more years, I knew that was it for me. Obama is a destroyer. A sneering, menacing, arrogant destroyer – and I’m not going to let him destroy the rest of my life. I simply an NOT going to be one of his “tax the rich” victims.

The solution is simple.

Stop earning.

Minimal income, minimal income taxes. Live off your investments. I’m ready. From my standpoint, Dear Ruler, your tax increase reduced revenues. It certainly didn’t increase them. I have many personal friends who are in exactly the same boat and have made the same decision. I don’t belong to Obama, and I’m not going to work 50% of every working day for him. I’ve escaped --- as of noon today.

First of all, I’ll be doing daily two-minute commentaries for WSB. They will run at 8:45 am and 6:45 pm, and I promise the same dose of insensitivity in those commentaries as I’ve been delivering in my show for these many years. Those commentaries, by the way, will be available to affiliate radio stations if they should want them.

Secondly .. There’s Twitter. Twitter will now become the main platform for my interaction with my former listeners. That’s the best place for us to keeping touch. You can follow me at @talkmaster. I promise you’ll enjoy it.

Nealz Nuze? Yes … we’ll be keeping that up. I will constantly be posting material. Whenever I get ticked off at something, you can bet that I’ll sit down at the computer and put my feelings on “paper.”

Columns? Yes … I’ll be writing for Townhall.com. Be sure to check in there. I’ll Tweet the link every time something appears.

Fill-in? You got it! I will be Herman Cain’s regular fill-in host. Sean Hannity has said that I’ll have the opportunity to fill in for him as well. There are others, but best not to name them now.

I’m joining the folks at FairTax.org to start promoting the FairTax again. Keep your eye on Twitter and Nealz Nuze to see what’s going on.

So .. there you go. I’m hardly disappearing. I’m just clearing out much more extra time for me and The Queen.

Another low life championed by the right.

I will give Boortz some credit for occasionally breaking with the right on some issues like guns and Terry Schiavo. But he was usually just over the top ridiculous, full of the vitriol and sometimes dishonesty that obviously appeals to some people.

Boortz also broke with the right on Gay Marriage.

Boortz is the first/only talking head conservative I know of who's advocated going on welfare & entitlement programs as a way to bankrupt the GOV for good.

He says he would do it if his saving didn't disqualify him.

You know what's interesting. After the last couple of days, I can sincerely say you have as much credibility as Rush Limbaugh on anything political.

You really are a testament to hyper-partisan myopia. The poster child really.

I'll miss Boortz. Used to have him here in Tampa, then they pulled him for Laura Ingraham (puke) then Michael Gallagher (intellectually light). Granted, this is a market where Ron & Ian are the No. 1 Sports Talk show, which says a lot about the collective intelligence - of lack thereof - of the Tampa market.

That said, whatever you think of Neil's views/opinions, what I liked was the fact that he comes to those views of his own volition. He also differed with (R)s on abortion and felt it was the one issue that held the party back (A Point I strongly agreed with). Either way, his shows raised the bar compared with the usual party-line pablum spewers and I will miss him (got to hear him few times a week when in Orlando).

Wrong, as usual. Go start another Fake Global Warming thread.

1.) Al Gore
2.) Michael Moore
3.) Jessie Jackson
4.) Al Sharpton
5.) Joe Biden
6.) Debbie Wasserman Schultz
7.) Chris Matthews
8.) Keith Olberman


among others.

I'm sorry if I offended your choice of vicious showmen. The only good thing on this ignorant hater's (for dollars that is, who knows what he really believes) "show" was the Washington guy who did the daily reports and who tried to ignore his rants. The "painful truth" my a.s. More like pablum for the self satisfied.

Hater, really? Based on what, that he has opposing views?

Are you offended by your own choice of vicious showmen?

Amusing? Yes.

Offended? Not at all.

One less partisan flame thrower out there.
Of course someone else will step up to fill his flame thrower shoes, so we don't exactly gain much.

No, that he viciously attacks fellow Americans who he views as takers and also those he disagrees with politically. He's either unhinged or is selling an attitude I'm not in the market to buy. Obviously, others are.

And you viciously attack fellow Americans you disagree with as haters. You don't see the irony here?

Sorry, but I don't viciously attack anyone. If you think I do, please give an example.
